Converting to a string...

i want to convert a data row value to a string but i get an error

saying System.Data.DataRow cannot be converted to a string, how can i do this without getting an error can i use a CType to convert it

golfkeelo

DataTable table;
DataRow row;

//Get a DataRow object "row" from your DataTable "table".
//Then loop over each column and print its value.

for(int iCol=0; iCol<table.Columns.Count; iCol++)
{
Console.WriteLine(row[iCol].ToString());
}

Note that you cannot do row.ToString(), since that will just print out "System.Data.DataRow".

You can convert anything to string by calling ToString() on it. However, that won't do you any good in case of System.Data.DataRow, all you would get is a type name. If you're trying to get a string with values of all columns in this row, please use simple loop to print them out.

I believe that what SirajLala posted will work. However, could you post any code snippets that is causing this error

I hate to ask silly question but did that remove the copy and paste feature in the forumns....
